IMPROVEMENT m DOLL-HEADS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [77,777, dated May 23, 1876; application filed March 13, 1876.

To an whom it may concern: Q

Be it known that I, GARL-WIEGAND, of the city, county, and State of New York, haveinthe doll-heads are formed.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention relates to such improvements in the manufacture of doll-heads that they may be made light and cheap, yet strong and durable, being capable to resist by their elasticity in a higher degree the wear to which they are exposed.

The invention consists of a doll-head that is molded of sections made of interior layers of paper or pasteboard and outer layers of muslin, that are jointed by a paste of suitable consistency. V

In the drawing, D represents a doll-head that is formed in the customary manner of two sections that are separately pressed in molds and cemented together. The body of the dollhead is made of one or more interior layers, B, of paper or pasteboard, covered by outer layers A of muslin or similar fabric. The layers are connected by a suitable paste and exposed in moist state to the molds, forming, when dry, a stiff, yet elastic and durable, material for dollheads and similar purposes. The outer layer, which is painted in the required colors, is made of a muslin or fabric of finer texture than the inner covering.

The use of an intermediate re-enforcing layer A doll-head that is molded in sections of a 7 material composed of two or more layers of 'textile fabric with an intermediate layer of paper, substantially as described.
